"Li Long too? I'm Wu He." It took him a long time to make up his mind. Wuhe dialed Li Longye's number, hoping that he had changed his number, but also hoping that he hadn't.
Seeing the name flashing on the screen, Li Long was a little flustered. Although the call had not started, he already knew what the other party would say. He wanted to hear her voice, even if it was just the sound of her breathing. However, he was also afraid of hearing that voice, because the content of the voice was definitely something he resisted.
Before Li Long could make a decision, the other party had already hung up. He smiled bitterly and lay on the bed. When did their relationship become like this? In the face of betrayal, the promise of the past seemed to be nothing. It was too ridiculous how we should write the ending of this story.
Li Long also took a sip of the bitter coffee that he had never been used to. He unexpectedly tasted a sweet taste from it. She rubbed her hair a few times and finally called the number back.
However, no one picked up…
Throwing his phone on the bed, Li Long turned over a few times. Her phone rang, but it was not the ringtone that someone had specially set. The other party seemed to be much more stubborn than Wuhe. He actually rang twice in a row. Looking at the flashing fixed number, he sighed and picked up. He hoped that it was someone, but he felt that the possibility was not too high.
"Hello."
"Hello, is this the general?" It was a voice that did not belong to Wuhe at all, but the title of general touched Li Longye's nerves.
Li Long also sat up and said,"Yes, I am the general."”
"Hello, I'm Xiao Ran from the Karakhanate Cafe, right? We have a box that you left behind last time. I wonder when you'll have time to pick it up?”
Li Long also looked at the clock hanging on the wall and smiled.""I'll go get it now."
They drove to their favorite cafe. When they were one stop away from the cafe and waiting for the red light, someone knocked on Li Longye's car window a few times.
He slowly rolled down the window and saw Rocky. Unlike his usual cheerful and flirtatious self, the Rocky in front of him was as pale as a piece of paper.
"Can you take me to the nearest cafe? I have low blood sugar and can't walk anymore.”Rocky said weakly.
The red light turned green, and the car horn behind them began to sound. Rocky was so pale that he seemed to be about to faint. There was no room for Li Long to refuse, so he could only smile and lean over to open the back door, letting Rocky sit in the back seat.
"What happened? Why do you look so pale?”Li Long also handed Rocky a can of energy drink and asked.
Rocky gulped down a few mouthfuls and finished the entire can in a short while. He then regained some strength and said,""One more can. Do you have any more sugar?"
In fact, there was Wuhe's favorite plum candy in the backseat, but Li Long also said,"Chewing gum, okay?"
Rocky took the drink and finished it in a few mouthfuls. He chewed on his gum and said,""I feel so pitiful. Models were really not made by humans. They had to be thin, thin, thin. Damn, I was born with a big hip. How skinny can I be? Really, I'm so pitiful. I've only eaten three apples and one kiwifruit in the past three days. If I hadn't met you, I might have really died.”
Li Long also smiled." I'm going to a cafe. Come with me. The desserts there seem to be pretty good."”
"It's the Karakhanate Cafe, right? It's actually my destination today. Don't tell my manager.”Rocky had regained some of his vitality.
The two of them seemed to be chatting happily, but it wasn't entirely true. Rocky had a big question, but he didn't dare to ask it. Why did Li Long go through so much trouble to open the back door for him instead of directly choosing the front door that was within reach for him to sit in the side car? Perhaps Li Long's action was meaningless. It would be more comfortable to sit in the back, Rocky comforted himself.
She had left the cafe in tears. It didn't seem to matter why she had cried. What was important was that she had to leave. She had to leave the haven that she had relied on and valued the most. She had to leave the self that had always sought comfort and recognition from others. She was not that strong but not that weak.
Carrying a small suitcase, he walked on the street where people passed by. From time to time, he wanted to find a taxi. However, it seemed to be the peak hour now, and every taxi was filled with people. He remembered that when he was very poor, Wu He and Li Long often walked back like this to save on the fare. Li Long, who hadn't been separated for long, also went out. When he came back, he brought a bicycle. From then on, he had his own seat. Li Long also once said,"Only you can sit in this position in the future.”
His promise was actually fulfilled because the two of them bought a very good car the year after they bought the bicycle.
At the thought of this, Wuhe's tears flowed down uncontrollably. "Look, although I'm the first person to ride in your car, I won't be the last.”
The small shops on the street were playing some ancient songs. The sad tune made people want to cry for some reason. In the past, we always said that some people can only be met when they are strong enough. In fact, more people would leave when they were strong enough. Being strong meant that you would be responsible for a larger world, and the inevitable result was that your world would become smaller and smaller, and eventually there would be no room for survival. They were like pitiful creatures without shadows under all kinds of lights. I didn't expect that we would reach this step. I didn't expect that our lives would be longer than what we agreed on.
An hour ago…
Li Long's phone couldn't be reached. Wuhe felt a little stuffy, so he came out for a walk. Unknowingly, he came to his favorite cafe.
Not long after he sat down, the lobby manager said to Wuhe,"Excuse me, is this the young princess?”
Wuhe was stunned at first, but then he realized that Li Long had given him this nickname as well. At that time, he was filming a period drama and playing a princess. He didn't want to get too deep into the role. The role was only on the stage. Although it was Wuhe's pursuit, it seemed a little difficult to do it. Therefore, during that period of time, whether it was when he spoke or when he did things, he had the style of a princess. Thus, Li Long teased him for being a princess and him for being a general.
Looking at the waiter who was still waiting for his answer, Wuhe could not help but be surprised by his good memory. It had been more than eight months since they last came to this cafe, and he could still recognize him in full armor. Wuhe smiled and nodded.
After getting her confirmation, the other party seemed to be very happy, as if a huge rock had been lifted from her head. The other party left in a hurry. After a while, he came back with a box and said,"This is the box you left here during your celebration. My colleague, Wu, thinks that this is mine, so I've been keeping it. Because I've been on marriage leave and maternity leave for the past few months, I only realized this flaw now. So can I give this box to you now?”
Eight months ago, Li Long seemed to have come here to celebrate his birthday. She had said that she wanted to give him a surprise, but because of He Lan's sudden call, she had let it go. Now that he and Li Long were in the same situation, this surprise should still belong to him. Thinking of this, Wu He smiled and said," Of course, leave it to me.”
Even without opening the box, he knew that it was filled with love, even if it was only in the past. Thinking of this, Wuhe thought a lot. She met Li Long and fell in love with each other. Then, Wuhe thought, do we really need to go to the step of divorce? There's really no turning back between the two of us. The two of them had been so close in the past, but they had stopped contacting each other just like that.
The result of his consideration was that Wuhe decided to have a good talk with Li Long. After all, they had a deep past, and they had left a deep mark in each other's lives. She reached out to dial the number again, but she realized that she had forgotten to bring her phone with her.
He got up and was about to leave the cafe when he saw Li Long open the car door and invite Rocky out. The two of them walked to the cafe together. Wuhe didn't know why he chose to hide behind the service staff to avoid meeting those two people. However, after walking out of the cafe, tears couldn't help but flow down.
It turns out that wherever you take me, you will bring anyone. It turns out that I'm not the only one who can be carried in your car. So I was the only one who stayed in the same place these days, and you had already gone far away.
The cruelest thing in the world is this. We loved each other deeply, but others never knew that your face had appeared in my life. Wuhe wiped away the tears on his face and thought," The worst crime in this world is probably being too emotional, but I like this crime. It's earth-shattering and has changed our lives. Unfortunately, the heavens and earth were heartless, and there was never any wind between us. He dared not make a sound. No one can prove the love between us, and there is no light or shadow left behind.
She wanted to walk back to her home, but in the end, she changed her direction. "Li Long, do you know?" Wuhe muttered to himself as he bit his lips. You know how much I want to take a walk with you under the setting sun, how much I want to hold your arm by the river to watch the scenery, and look at the reflections in the water. It's just that we're too clear-headed, and we can't reach the uninhabited land that we've always wanted to reach.”
When they arrived at their destination, the other party led them to the small house and turned to leave. Wuhe wiped his tears and took out the key from his wallet, but he couldn't insert it into the lock. Just like how her relationship with Li Long had finally hit rock bottom, she wanted to look back and relax, but found that the resentment was deep. You are no longer the young man from back then, and you no longer have a unique lustrous face. Time had never spared anyone, and the most affectionate confession had come to an end.
I have tried to treat you better, but my actions betrayed my thoughts every time. Seeing the smile on your face fade, I feel more and more uneasy. You're disappointed and I'm regretful. The two of us can only get further and further apart. It wasn't that she didn't love him anymore, but that the grudge had already deepened. It's not that I want to let go, it's just that we have a deep grudge, and it's impossible to hug again.
Wu He thought,"Li Long, maybe I don't trust you, or this world, but I don't trust myself."”
In the end, Wuhe did not open the box and stored it in the safe. Some feelings didn't need to be looked at anymore, and past feelings didn't need any proof.
Every day, I was as busy as a spinning top. The high-speed spinning life always made people wonder why I suddenly drifted to this place and misplaced time and space. Perhaps his manager had a conscience and decided to give Wuhe a medium-sized holiday.
It was a rare leisure time, but Wuhe used it all to catch up on sleep. In this blissful sleep, Noon had a slightly strange dream.
